[v1,1/2] audit: record fanotify event regardless of presence of rules

Commit Message

Richard Guy Briggs March 5, 2025, 9:33 p.m. UTC

When no audit rules are in place, fanotify event results are
unconditionally dropped due to an explicit check for the existence of
any audit rules.  Given this is a report from another security
sub-system, allow it to be recorded regardless of the existence of any
audit rules.

To test, install and run the fapolicyd daemon with default config.  Then
as an unprivileged user, create and run a very simple binary that should
be denied.  Then check for an event with
	ausearch -m FANOTIFY -ts recent
